US resumes maritime aid deliveries to Gaza after pier repair

09-06-2024 02:25 PM


Ammon News - Maritime aid deliveries to Gaza resumed Saturday after a US-built temporary pier was repaired a day prior, US Central Command announced.

Nearly 500 metric tons, or over a million pounds, of aid was delivered beginning Saturday morning local time, CENTCOM said in a post on X, the first delivery since the pier broke apart last month.

The delivery came the same day the Israeli military rescued four hostages in an operation that authorities in Gaza said killed 236 people and injured more than 400 others.

CENTCOM made it clear Saturday that the pier, “including its equipment, personnel, and assets,” was not used in the operation.
